ISPCAN Cultural Evening               

Join us for dinner at the historical campus of Istanbul University and experience the amazing beauty, delicious food, and spectacular history that define Istanbul. Evolved from two madrasahs that were established in 1453, when Mehmet the Conqueror conquered Constantinople, Istanbul University, is one of the oldest educational institutions in the world. While on campus, you will not only eat the best food Istanbul has to offer, but will have a chance to indulge in the history of Istanbul itself. This will include visiting the University presidential building, which was formerly the palace of Mehmet the Conqueror, as well as the 50m high Beyazit Tower a key Istanbul landmark built for fire watchers. Make sure you bring your camera to memorialize the unforgettable vistas you will witness during your tour of the campus and from the wooden Beyazit tower, which offers a superb overview of the city from its upper landing, accessible via a wooden staircase.

Time: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 - Celebration begins at 19:30
